Comments on Multiple murder suspect arrested in Wuhan
Oh, it's my hometown ... As for the spring festival rush, I blogged about it too. In my opinion, to stay with family during spring festival is such a important custom for us. No one dares to disobey it or even to discuss about an alternative way. Though we all know it's a very low-efficiency family gathering, we all have to go with it.
